Hello and welcome
I’m back with a card for HLS Watercolour Challenge for April 2019 with an optional twist of BRIGHT! However, anything watercolour is just fine.
My card is certainly super bright, happy and yet so simple!
I started by dabbing Distress Inks on a stamp block and giving it a light spray of water before stamping it on some card. It was great fun playing with this super easy technique and you never know exactly how it will turn out.
Cutplorations Wonky Rectangle Die cut panel was added to my card front.
Once dry, I trimmed the watercolour panel, and die cut Winnie & Walter’s ‘friend’, before adding it to the middle of the card front. A matching a pink fun foam die cut was glued back into the panel’s negative space and the die cut glued on top.
The small sentiment is from Altnew’s Label Love set.
Please head over to our blog and check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the rest of the Design Team! I hope you will find the time to join our challenge this month. Good luck!
Moments of Crafting 
ooh yes, the magic of water and ink, it’s quite scary the lack of control but I agree, the outcome is amazing. Especially when it is as bright and fun as this card Helen!
